This newly released image shows the southernmost part of Pluto that NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft could “see” during its closest approach in July 2015. The…
Using Chandra and several other telescopes, astronomers have found the most distant galaxy cluster to date. This cluster, called CL J1001+0220, lies about 11.1 billion…
This new image from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows an ethereal, glowing spot on Saturn’s B ring. There is nothing particular about that place in the…
New research suggests that IRAS 19312+1950 might be a protostar a star still in the making. For years, astronomers have puzzled over a massive star…
New research from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows that the center of the Milky Way was once a very active place. The center of…
This newly released Hubble images shows Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B. The closest star system to the Earth is the famous Alpha Centauri…
Using data from NASA’s Juno probe, astronomers hope to gain a better understanding of Jupiter and the many Jupiter-like planets in our galaxy. Our galaxy…
